A RATE WAR THREATENED.
The Santa Fc Likely to Meet the
BurIingtOn's Cut.

DENVER, Colo, Nov 10 Especial Tele
gram to the BEE From all indications
railroad war on rates is about TO be inaugur-
ated at Denver. The Santa Fe folks will
meet the cut in rates instituted by the B. 4
M. A call az General Agent Flynn's Office
illcited this information: 1.-The rates we
proposed putting into effect between the
Missouri river and Denver are less than
those published by the Burlington, but having
no desire to demoralize things in Colorado,
we are disposed TO submit the matter
TO our competitors. In any event our rates
will not be higher than those of any other
company, but on the contrary, If it can be
effected without Generalization, our rates
will be lower. Our people are present at the
rate meeting being held in ST Louis now,
and the matter will probably be arranged
there"
Your representative called on Union Pa
cific officials this morning and submitted the
following question: "What are your people
going to do about this rate cut advanced by
the BurlngtonE'
"Well, / haven't heard word yet
and don't know as anything will be done at
all. We have so much to attend to Just now
that we hardly know which way to turn. The
fact Is, we are overrun with business. There
is one thing, however, that you can say. That
is, that our folks can run freight into Colo
RADIO Just as cheap as any other road, and
when it comes to friendship, we have as
friendly feeling for Colorado as any road
entering her confines"
DO you think there is liable to be a rate
war;"
mo, there is no need of it. The railroads
don't want it. The most of them have their
winters stock Of goods already ordered over
some route 80 there would be no actual bene-
tit TO be gained at this time"

CHICAGO, Nov 16.-The state boards of
agriculture II Indiana Illinois, Iowa. Kan
sas, Mlnp esota, Nebraska and Wisconsin
met here to-day. The date for the state fairs
of 1883 were fixed as follows: Iowa and
Wiscons.G September 3 to 8, Minnesota and
Nebrasia September 10 TO IS; Indiana and
Kansas September II to %; illinois Septem-
Der "a to %. The date for the ST Louis fair

adopted setting forth that the American
Farm Stock show, the American Horse show,
the American Dairy show and the American
Poultry show held annually in Chicago
under the auspicious of the Illinois
state board of agriculture, are worthy
of the honest and hearty support of all live
stock and kindred associations in the United

of agriculture that the scope of the above ex-
hibit ons be enlarged so as to include breed
ing animals of all recognized breeds and of
domestic aniG,als of record, and that the
combined show be known as the "American
Live Stock show" The representatives Of the
different associations present individually
pledge their earnest support to the proposed
American Live Stock show, and will heartily
cooperate in establishing such show and
making the exhibitions of the greatest possi-
BILE benefit to all interested in the breeding

THE COMMERCIAL UNION.
Edward Atkinson, the Boston Econo-
mist, Gives His Views,

New York, Nov. 16.-A short time ago j.
b. Thurber, chairman Of the commercial
union committee of the chamber of com
merce, wrote to Edward Atkinson, the we'll
known political economist of Boston, for an
expression of his views on the subject of
commercial union with Canada. Mr. Atkin-
son has replied in long letter, in which he
takes the ground that not only does he favor
such union, but also that he can
discover no valid argument against it. The
novel point, in his letter however,
is contained in q paragraph referring to
Novia Scotia, New Brunswick and Cape
Breton, the seat of the fisheries dispute and
which the late Governor Andrews, of Massa-
chusetts, is quoted as considering equal in
productive capacity to New York and Phla-
delphia, exclusive of their fisheries. Atkin-
son says the population of these provinces is
people have received little benefit from the
great railway projects in the far west,
on which Canada's money has been
chiefly expended but they must
share the burden of debt.
MIR. Atkinson says "Suppose the United
States should buy them at a price equal to
their share of Canada's debt say, $40 600 to
SbO,OOO-it would only cost five months sur
plus revenue. Would it be u good bargain
for us and would it not be good bargain for
the provinces and the Dominion! 1t would
enable the Dominion to complete the remain
der OF its railway system without mourning
any further danger of loss of credit"

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suirocatio
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep sound
ly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head
clear, brain active and free from pain or ache;
to know that no poisonous, putrid matter defles
the breath and rots away the delicate machin-
cry of SMELL taste and hearing; to feel that the
system does not, through its veins and arteries,
suck up the poison that is sure to undermine
and destroy, is indeed blessing beyond all
other human enJoyments.s To purchase immu-
nifty from such fate should be the object OF all
afflicted. But those who have tried many reme-
dies and physicians despair of relief or cure

of Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages 1t is local
and constitutional. Instant in relieving, per-
manent in curing, safe, economical and never

SNEEZING CATARRH.
What 1t Means, How II Acts, and
WHAT II is.

You sneeze when you get up IN the morning
YOU try to sneeze your nose or every time you
are exposed to the least draft of air. You have
a fulness over the front Of the forehead. and
the nose feels as IL there was plug in each nos
tril which you cannot dislodge. You blow your
nose until your ears crack, but 1t don't do any
good, and the only result is that you succeed In
getting up very red nose, and you SO irritate
the lining membrane OF that organ that you are
unable to breathe through 1t at all This Is cor
rect and not overdrawn picture of an acute at
tack of catarrh. or 'Sneezing Catarrh,' as 1t is
called. w
Now, what does this condition indicate2 First
n cold that causes mucus to be poured out by
tho glands in the nose; then those diseased
glands are attacked by swarns OF little germs
the catarrh germ--that float In the air In u lo-
calty whore the disease is prevalent These IN
imalculae, in their efforts to find lodgment,
irritate the sensitive membrane lining OF the
nose and nature undertakes to rid herself OF
them by producing a ut of sneezng.
When the nose becomes filled with thickened
diseased mucus the natural channels for the In
PRODUCTION Of air into the lungs is interfercd
with and the person affected must breathe
through the mouth. and by such means tho
throat becomes parched and dry snoring is
produced and the catarrhal disease gains ready

had not committed suicide but had been

first witness was Jailor Conrad tolz Re
voting circumstances in relation TO the sui
eide were related in detail by the iailor,

By statements from Physician Mayer. Turn
key Englehart, Death Watch O'Neill and

how Lingg could have obtained the dyna-
mite or where he might have concealed il was
made the subject of few questions, but re-
mained dark as ever. verdict was returned
that Lingg's death was brought about "by
the explosion Of bomb about two inches

The Men Who Robbed Broker Young

CHICAGO, Nov. l6-Mner and Carson, who
have been in custody here for several days as
vagrants, and who are to be taken to Boston
to answer charge of burglary, were identi-
fed to-day as the perpetrators of the largest
bond robbery on record-the theft of 1870, 600
in surities from the Office of James Young, a
New York real estate broker, about 1879
The full amount was recovered, but no direct
evidence could be brought against Carson,
and Miner escaped from the court bailiff the
day before the case came up. II is not
thought probable that they will again be ar
raigned for the bond robbery, but they will
undoubtedly go to prison for their offenses in
